Used air dome for sale, 60' × 118' Arizon air-supported structure

Most used domes are half a building

Almost every used dome you will find is just fabric and a blower. Then you figure out you still need doors, lights, a panel and a floor, and the budget is gone before anything goes up.

This one came down complete and went into storage complete. Airlock door, emergency door, the whole lighting harness, the electrical panel, and half-inch rubber mat for the whole floor, all of it in the container with the Arizon manual and the as-built drawings. The one piece not included is the HVAC unit, covered below.

What fits inside

At 60 by 118 it holds one tennis court with 20 feet of runback and 12 feet each side, above the recreational minimum of 56 by 114 and 1 foot per end under the 60 by 120 tournament guideline. Four pickleball courts at the recommended 30 by 60 need 120 feet, 2 feet more than this dome has, so check a four-court layout against the drawings. Pick a layout below.

Component manifest

Every line below is in the container and included at the asking price.

Everything on this page is pulled from the Arizon documents and our own records to the best of our ability. Confirm anything you are relying on against the documents themselves, the physical equipment, and your own engineer before you buy.

The fabric, by the numbers

This is the manufacturer's published data for the exact material on this dome. Most used domes get sold on entry-level PVC. This is not that.

Opaque fabric blocks radiant heat, which is why this one ran in the Mojave. If you want daylight instead, translucent fabric passes 5 to 12% light, but you give up the heat blocking.

Power and fuel

Power comes in from the utility to the standing electrical panel, which is included. The original drawings call for 208V three-phase service at the mechanical pad. From the panel it feeds three things: the Fizer inflation unit, the interior lighting and door exit lights, and the interior outlets. On the original site the same panel also fed the Trane HVAC unit, which has been sold.

Fuel is propane from a tank on site. On the original install it ran to two places: the Trane for heat, and the Fizer's backup engine. With the Trane gone, the only fuel draw in this package is the backup engine. It starts on its own if the power goes out or pressure drops, and it keeps the dome standing until power comes back.

Your site needs three-phase power, a fuel supply with a regulator, a heat source if you run in the cold, and a licensed electrician and gas fitter to connect it all.

What is not included

Putting it up

Five stages. The foundation takes the longest and happens before anything ships. Once the pad is cured, a decent crew has this thing standing in under two weeks.

Where it came from, and why we are selling

Arizon Building Systems built it in 2020 under sales order A10324. It went up on a military installation out in the California high desert and ran as the base gym from 2020 to 2023 while they built the permanent one.

We bought it to open our own facility. We took it down ourselves in 2023, packed it into a 40-foot high-cube container and hauled it to Texas. Then our funding fell through and the project died. It has been locked in a container in a dry storage facility ever since.

That is the whole story. Nothing wrong with the dome. We just do not have a use for it anymore, and it is worth a lot more to somebody who does than it is sitting in storage. Three years in the Mojave is about the easiest life fabric can have: no standing water, no freeze-thaw, no salt air.

You get the engineering, not just the parts

The as-built set comes with the dome. Sections, the profile with cable spacing, and the perimeter anchorage details. If you have ever tried to permit a used building with no paperwork, you know what this is worth.

Anchoring, and why it matters to your budget

This dome does not need a poured grade beam. It runs a perimeter catenary system: 1/2" galvanized wire rope, 6x25 IWRC EIPS with white PVC coating and 26.6 KIPS minimum breaking strength, tied to helical earth anchors at 6' on center, with sandbags along the interior perimeter. On its original installation it sat on an existing concrete slab.

If you already have a slab, a pad, or ground your engineer will sign off on, that is the single biggest line item in the whole project potentially off your budget. Confirm it with a local engineer against your own soil and wind code, but the system it was built for is anchors, not footings.

Read the paperwork yourself

Both documents are posted below. No form, no email required. Read them before you call, and every question you have will be a better one.

Both open in Google Drive in a new tab. You can read them there or download a copy. They are the authority: where this page and the paperwork disagree, the paperwork wins.

Wind and snow operating setpoints

An air dome holds up with pressure, not steel. These are the actual numbers out of the Arizon manual, in inches of water column.

Engineered for its original California site: the documents cite a 110 to 120 mph design wind speed and a 5 psf ground snow load. Any new site needs its own engineering review for local wind and snow.

For snow you bring the inside up to 80°F two hours before it starts falling. That takes a heat source, which you supply. Full procedures come with the manual. Code background: ASCE and the International Code Council.
